New network FXX launches at 7 a.m. Monday, taking several of sister channel FX’s shows with it, including “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “The League,” “Legit” and “Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.” The network (available in the Washington area on Comcast channel 725, RCN channel 362, DirecTV channel 619 and DISH Network channel 390) kicks off with a marathon of “Parks and Recreation” until noon.

Charlie Sheen is FX’s newest star, so the network takes the opportunity to run a day-long marathon of his old show, “Two and a Half Men” (7 a.m.) — an awkward decision, given that he didn’t leave the series on the greatest of terms.

Cedric the Entertainer joins the syndicated version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” (WJLA at 12:30 p.m.) for Season 12, replacing host Meredith Vieira.

Cartoon Network has a big night of premieres, starting with a new season of “Regular Show” (7:30 p.m.), starring best friends Mordecai, a six-foot-tall blue jay, and Rigby, a hyperactive raccoon. Afterward, the comedy “Uncle Grandpa” (8) debuts, about a magical uncle and grandpa who travels around the world helping people, using a mystical RV as his primary mode of transportation.

If you’re deeply invested in the relationship between “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra and her fiance, Eddie, just a heads-up — the three-part docu-series “Tamra’s OC Wedding” (Bravo at 8) kicks off, chronicling the journey behind the scenes since the couple got engaged last year in Bora Bora. Included: joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in Vegas, along with Tamra’s wedding dress fittings.

Hank Stuever’s guide to summer TV shows

View Photos

Looking at this summer’s lineup is a little like arriving at your favorite vacation spot and noticing that the shave-ice shack burned down over the winter. In any event, most of us are just here so we can get a good spot for the real fireworks: “Breaking Bad” starts its last season Aug. 11. Here’s my annual quick-hit guide to what looks interesting.

Looking at this summer’s lineup is a little like arriving at your favorite vacation spot and noticing that the shave-ice shack burned down over the winter. In any event, most of us are just here so we can get a good spot for the real fireworks: “Breaking Bad” starts its last season Aug. 11. Here’s my annual quick-hit guide to what looks interesting.

The KillingThe show’s stars look just as shocked as you are that this moody, elongated crime series is back for another season. The engaging and corrective return episode set Linden and Holder (the superb Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman) off on a grisly new serial-killer case, in which a death-row inmate (rejoice, pirates — it’s Peter Saaaaarrrrrsgaaaaard) might not be the one responsible for beheading his wife. I’m half-happy the show is back and hope it doesn’t violate parole. Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.Frank Ockenfels/AMC

James Franco steps up and gets roasted on the “Comedy Central Roast of James Franco” (10), hosted by roast master Seth Rogen and taped in Los Angeles last weekend. Performers including Aziz Ansari, Andy Samberg, Nick Kroll, Jonah Hill and Sarah Silverman line up to take shots at the actor.

Savi decides it’s time to move on from Harry and gives Dom a chance on “Mistresses” (ABC at 9). Meanwhile, the judge finally rules in Karen’s case, but it’s a very surprising verdict.

Andy Cohen rounds up the gang from “Below Deck: Reunion” (Bravo at 10) to discuss all the drama and ridiculous situations from Season 1.

View Photos

⿿Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS and the CW announced the new television shows coming to these networks this fall last week. Michael J. Fox, Blair Underwood, Sean Hayes and Andy Samberg return to the small screen, while J.J. Abrams and Bill Lawrence put their creative powers behind two new shows.

New shows — including Fox’s “Rake,” starring Greg Kinnear, and CW’s “The 100,” about post-apocalyptic teens — join a number of fall 2013 premieres at mid-season.

CW: “The 100”A refreshingly taut and well-executed futuristic sci-fi series about a group of 100 jailed juvenile delinquents who are banished from an orbiting space-station colony and sent to live on Earth — 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse. They’ve barely crash-landed when things get pretty “Lord of the Flies,” but a determined young woman (Eliza Taylor) tries her best to stick to the group’s real mission. Grade: A-Cate Cameron/CW
